Drive and Photo Service:Calling methods

Last Updated:May 01, 2026

Before calling a Drive and Photo Service (PDS) API operation, get familiar with the endpoints, communication protocol, request method, request and response format, and encoding format.

Endpoints

PDS endpoints follow the pattern {domainID}.api.aliyunpds.com for internet access and {domainID}.api-vpc.aliyunpds.com for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) access. VPC endpoints use the -vpc suffix. The management plane uses a separate endpoint with {regionID} as the prefix instead of {domainID}.

Note

domainID is the domain ID and regionID is the region ID. Replace both with your actual values.

Communication protocols

PDS supports HTTP and HTTPS. We recommend that you use HTTPS to improve communication security.

Request method

Use the POST method for all requests. Include all parameters in the request body.

Request and response format

Requests and responses use the Content-Type: application/json format.

Encoding format

Requests and responses are encoded in UTF-8.
